"From Failure to Famous"

Did you know that Elvis Presley once tried to join his high school glee club, but was turned down? That Henry Ford forgot to put a reverse gear in the first car he manufactured? That Pepsi-Cola went bankrupt 3 times? Or even that Albert Einstein failed his first college entrance exam at Zurich Polytechnic?

Here's a list of people and/or companies that went from failure to famous. I found it to be an interesting read, and a testament to the notion of perseverence. Enjoy!
